Introducing Reagan, a rumpled ruffled floral hair clip.

New clips, needed a new name. I’m trying to working on naming my pieces better. I clearly suck at it. I love a good name.

First up, Reagan:

I don't know what you heard about me…

But a bitch cant get a crumb up out of me
I drive a cadillac wear a perm and im a g
And im a motherfuckin P.I.M.P

Bought this Singer sewing machine table at My sister in Law’s Community garage sale over the weekend. I’m in love. Been wanting one for awhile. And while they are pretty common and easy to find, sometimes they are out of my budget.  And I got it dirt cheap. Con: Thing weighs a ton. legitimately. Fortunately, my sister is a bad ass and helped me lug into the apartment (no dolly!) just straight lifting. We took a lot of breaks and the elevator, but we still both had sore forearms and biceps the next day. It should be fun to move again someday. Next time I will have something with wheels handy.

I Love it. It goes so well in my room. AND, it works. Everything is functioning from what I can tell so far. It still has a needle in it even. Only thing it needs to actually sew is a treadle belt (think that’s what it’s called) which is about $9. Although, I’m worried dewing with it will cause more damage. From my research I’ve found that it is a Singer model number 66, made sometime around 1910-1920. Apparently I can email Singer with the Serial number the machine for an exact date it was made. Kind of RAD. Also, I can still purchase the manual from Singer. Party.

Singer, When I can afford it, I will come to you for my next machine.

Love it! Win! Best.

And any other positive words I can use to describe it.

Favorite 2010 Emmy look:

January Jones.

I’m in love. Love the hair, the subtler makeup, THIS Versace textured BLUE dress. I think it looks so fun and super glamorous. and her dark nail polish and simple black pumps finish it off just right. Not too much going on accessory wise, seems necessary with a dress like this. I just love it.

Sadly, it’s making it’s way into some worst dressed lists. Makes me sad. I was happy to see something out of the norm, that wasn’t over the top or just weird. I would rock this. I would do things to be able to rock this… I’m not sure what I mean.

Just look at those pants.

I want white jeans. Badly. I have been contemplating buying a pair for some time now. After seeing some great outfit posts from fellow bloggers and whatnot about the web, I’m dead set on finding a pair. I realize I am late to the game here, being that it would have been ideal to sport these throughout the summer. But,  I still want a pair. Maybe, being that Fall is just about here, I’ll find a pair on super sale.  Here’s hoping….

A few styles I’ve been scoping out:

ASOS Iggy White Skinny Jeans.

7 For All Mankind Roxanne.

J Brand Cropped Skinny jeans.

WESC Eve Super Skinny white jean.

Gap Long and Lean jeans.

Gap straight carpenter jeans.

A few potential outfits to wear with them:

White denim looks

And, the outfit post that set me over the edge, and inspired the first outift: Clyde’s Rebirth, Sleepless in Seattle.

Clyde’s Rebirth. Stumbled on her blog recently. I sort of LOVE this girl.
